Who is Nick Conrad?

A UK radio presenter at BBC Radio Norfolk who seems to believe that men are animals and that female rape victims brought sexual violence upon themselves. 

While discussing the case of rapist Ched Evans, a former Sheffield United footballer, who was freed from jail last month, Conrad made the following comments:

“I think women need to be more aware of a man’s sexual desire that when you’re in that position that you are about to engage in sexual activity there’s a huge amount of energy in the male body, there’s a huge amount of will and intent and it’s very difficult for many men to say no when they are whipped up into a bit of a storm.

And it’s the old adage about if you yank a dog’s tail don’t be surprised when it bites you.

Or you can’t keep snakes in the garden and think they’ll only bite your neighbours.

One wonders if women need to be a little bit more mindful of that and the feminists who have hijacked… Hijacked maybe a bit of a strong word…jump on these arguments and appear to be quite anti-men.

They neglect that very important part of the argument even though it’s a reduced part of the argument and the onus has to be on the men and the men must be condemned if a woman says no and they persist then that’s absolutely abhorrent.

But they then (feminists) in their fury against men and masculinity they actually forget to stop and say if you tease, if you jump into bed naked with a man if you give him all the signals and then he acts upon them then you are partially responsible and of course it is a grey area and there will be cases where you wanted to go certain distance and not go any further and the man is absolutely wrong but if you are… how do I say this?

I’ve got to be so careful of what I say because I don’t want this to be explosive, I’m trying, I’m just trying to talk around it…

But what I’m trying to say is that women also have to understand that when a man’s given certain signals he’ll wish to act upon them and if you don’t wish to give out the wrong signals it’s best probably to keep your knickers on and not get into bed with him.”

So, dear Nick Conrad, feminism is needed because you’ve reached the age of 29 without knowing these simple facts:

- Men are not animals that can’t control their desires. So please don’t compare them to snakes and dogs.

- Anyway, rape isn’t about desire. It’s about violence. Rape is sexualised violence, not superduperattraction. 

- There’s nothing a person can do to cause themselves to be raped. Rapists cause rape.

-No always means no. A no is not ayesor a maybe.Nomeansno. And yesmeansyes. It’s that simple. “Desire” is not going to clogg up your ears. You will know if someone wants to have sex with you and you will also know when you are raping someone.
